Actually, all the Vitalogy tracks from the 2000 tour sound amazing. There's something about the dark energy of the 2000 era that suits the Vitalogy material really well. My favorite ever versions of "Better Man", "Immortality" and "Whipping" also come from this tour, and there are some outstanding versions of "Tremor Christ", "Nothingman" and "Not For You" as well.

I think Toronto is the only version where Ed didn't majorly blank on the lyrics.

Thankfully, for the next tour, they realized they needed to up the ante so they responded by canning the classical guitar and replacing it with a first-verse audience singalong.
This band simply does not disappoint!

You didn't like the best versions of "Spin the Black Circle" and "Rearviewmirror" ever played?

I'm very biased as the Pittsburgh date was my very first show, but was nonetheless surprised that this one did not receive the Ape Man seal of approval.
